S^3 apps & games (N8, C7, C6, E7 etc)

KrisW

Actually, the "^3" part has been dropped, which is just as well, because nobody knew how to pronounce it properly ("hat-three?" "to-the-power-of-three"? "ASCII-circumflex-three"?)

In terms of the old naming,
Symbian Anna = Symbian^3, release 2
Symbian Belle = Symbian^4, but only from a user's perspective; from a developer's perspective, Symbian^4 was a very different thing to Belle.

The release after Belle is rumoured to be called "Christina", incidentally. No news about what's in it, though.

jimmynokia

I would love0o know where you got that logic from Anna is actually PR 2.1

KrisW

2.0, 2.1, 2.3, 2.whatever - it's still the second major release.

new faster facebook app even supported by nokia
http://conversations.nokia.com/2011/08/30/facebook-on-your-phone-fmobi-deep-dive/

In an online universe where the world is at our fingertips, our social circle is no exception. With the likes of Facebook, we love to see what our friends and family is doing at all times as well as update them on our goings on as well. This is why Facebook on mobile phones is such a beautiful thing.
However, without a good Facebook client tucked on your phone, accessing the service can be rough. fMobi is a new and notable Facebook client that warrants a deep dive. fMobi is written in Qt which means it runs incredibly fast and nimble on my Nokia N8 and it has a stunning user interface as well.

might be an overkill but looks the part and its pricey

The SPB Mobile Shell for Symbian – predecessor of the newly released SPB Shell 3D – achieved the number one best selling position world-wide and has been recognized by the number of prestigious awards such as Nokia Calling All innovators.

SPB Shell 3D for Symbian is an innovative solution that brings user interface to a new level and transforms the whole Home Screen into a 3D space. Initially released for Android it became the revenue-generating hit on the Android Market with 750 000 USD earned within 3 weeks. Now it is Symbian users' turn to experience how SPB Shell 3D can improve the look and feel of their smartphones with astonishing 3D visual effects and highly responsive and natural UI.

With the new SPB Shell 3D Symbian users will get into the rich and engaging 3D environment with impressive 3D animation. Slick, intuitive and fast UI will make the navigation simple to allow Symbian users fully enjoy their familiar devices with the brand new features. Smart folders will help to organize the Home Screen in the most convenient way and get access to the most important apps in one click. Fast switching between screens will make the device manipulation much more effective.

Viber for Symbian is still under development see here
No release date as yet - it's been like this for a while now.

Have you tried whatsapp? It's cross platform and more than a match for Viber in my opinion, see here

Never heard of 'words with friends' so can't help there I'm afraid!

updated today

fixes

The device’s real web browser app is now used for opening web links. NOTE: If your device is low on memory, World Gaze may be closed while the browser is open (both apps need a lot of memory).
Added new unlocked “orbit” mode: you can freely travel around the world by turning the globe.
Added a fifth content button: “My location”. A glowing user position marker shows your physical location. The current viewing location is also shown (see screenshot).
Full support for Nokia E6: adjusted UI, text sizes and sensor input.
The main menu is now opened with a swipe gesture (swipe from right edge). A new help message about the swipe menus will appear when first starting the app.
Improved performance of (A)GPS positioning.
Settings: Added an option to show the help messages again.
When locking the view direction, the view is automatically straightened so that it does not stay in an awkward angle.
Screensaver/dimming is disabled while the app is running.
All thumbnail images cached in memory are deleted when the app goes to the background, leaving more memory for other applications. Consequently, images will be re-downloaded from the server when the app returns to foreground.
Search markers are not visible on the backside of the planet when viewing from space.
Fixed a crash that occurred when GPS position was found too quickly.
Fixed screen refresh issue on Symbian Belle.

Already tried that! Also tried installing in and from different locations... No dice.

Edit - Decided to give it one last try so redownloaded it today (third time!) and this time it installed without a hitch.

This morning I was presented with a firmware update to v25.007.
I installed it, but haven't seen any difference except that my Internet Radio app no longer works. There do not seem to be any release notes either.

Anyone have any idea what this update does?

Nokia Public Transport helps you navigate cities by public transportation. You can:

Choose from multiple routes and follow the list of directions for buses, trams, underground or trains.

There's also a new Stations nearby page (formally known as Departures) with all the stations and departure times around a selected spot. And the Journey details page visuals has been improved.
